This recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Thighs and Potatoes is a hearty one-pot meal. Serve this on busy weeknights or for a nice Sunday dinner. The leftovers are great for later in the week.

  • Total Time: 43 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.25 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6 pieces)
  • 6 red potatoes, washed and quartered (about 1 pound)
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. Press the Sauté button on your Instant Pot. Add the oil and let it heat up for a few minutes.
  2. Then, using tongs, place the chicken inside the Instant Pot to brown on both sides. Let the chicken cook for 2-3 minutes per side, just so it starts to brown on both sides.
  3. Cancel the Sauté function and transfer the chicken to a platter. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape off any pieces of chicken that may have stuck to the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  4. Then, place the quartered potatoes, broth, garlic powder, sea salt, and ground pepper in the pot. Place the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Don’t stir.
  5. Lock on the lid and set the time to 8 minutes at high pressure.
  6. When the cooking time is up, let the pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes.
  7. Then, use the quick release to get rid of any remaining pressure. Carefully remove the lid.
  8. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chicken and potatoes to a serving plate. Squeeze the lemon over the top of the chicken and potatoes and serve hot.

Notes

  1. You can leave the skin on the red potatoes.
  2. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
  3. The total cook time includes the prep time, cook time, natural release time, and the time for the pot to come up to pressure.
